Spark of Life Philosophy

Kingswood Rest Homes embrace the Spark of Life Culture Enrichment Philosophy which is designed to rekindle the Spark of Life in our Residents. We practice this philosophy across the board in Rest Home and Dementia Care, as we have found the benefits to be great.

Our Residents join Sunshine Clubs, designed around them to unlock memories and forgotten skills. The club programme works in small groups and this boosts their self confidence and encourages them to communicate. The Clubs run on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Spark of Life has been described as the practical step-by-step guide to implementing person-centred care. For more information about the Spark of Life philosophy, visit their website at www.dementiacareinternational.com

At Kingswood Rest Homes, we provide a happy, loving environment to live in. Our caring staff, rather than just taking care of the physical needs of our Residents, are trained to take care of the whole person, body, mind and soul.
